Our week started off with a cute frog in the yard…
Tuesday continued the reptile theme as Ryan found it QUITE funny to wake me from a much needed sleep by placing a SNAPPING TURTLE in my BED. Love people, it’s true love. Corben wasn’t feeling well today so I went and picked him up from school early.
Wednesday Sylvie and I went and visited my SIL and went for a beautiful walk in the woods with cousins. I just LOVE spending time with her. What a blessing she is to our family! Ella came home from school and passed out on the LR floor. She complained of a headache all night but no fever.
Thursday was SUPER busy. I headed out EARLY to help a friend with a fun photo shoot. Sylvie tagged a long. Note the cute bruise in the middle of her forehead? It’s actually fading but was working it’s way into a nice unicorn horn there for a day or two. She wacked herself with a medal she’d gotten for gymnastics. She’s also wearing lip gloss in this pic which is unusual but she had just seem my friend putting some on so I let her.
Friday night was my beloved SIL’s bridal shower and I missed it! That evening I got the worst headache I’ve had in years and was down for the count. Sorry, Amy! I love you! Ella’s headache was doing much better though so that’s a good thing.
Friday started out early, once again. Ryan headed out to go have breakfast with him mom who’s in town for his sister’s wedding. He then decided to work from home/his brother’s house. Must be nice! Dade is still having sinus trouble and it was requested that he get an MRI so they can figure out what’s going on in that head of his. We spent a good portion of the day getting that done. Unfortunately, we were unaware that Dade would need an IV for the procedure. He’s nervous about such things and likes to know exactly what’s going on before it happens. The IV threw him and then I had to leave with Sylvie while he was placed in the MRI and they didn’t tell him what was going to happen. They only said not to move. Well, imagine having a 40 minute panic attack but staying perfectly still despite the IV burning, your skin itching, something in your eye, and an overwhelming need to get out of dodge. It took him almost 2 hours to get back to feeling normal afterwards. Poor kid, but I’m SO proud of him for holding still and sticking it out. He knew he’d have to start over if he moved and THAT was NOT an option. I was still feeling pretty bad today but managed to get a bit done. I was kind of excited today because some of my photos have been circulating on Pinterest. I opened up the main Pinterest page and found my own photo there!! (See the cowboy and baby below?) It’s been pinned HUNDREDS of times. Mostly photographers wanting to recreate it but there were a lot of moms who think a cowboy holding a baby is heart melting! It’s fun to see people appreciating your work!
My mom came over Fri night to help with the kids and I was able to drive out and spend a nice evening at my SIL’s rehearsal dinner (which in LDS land is really decorate for the wedding dinner). It was so great spending time with them and getting to be artsy. I love this family!
Saturday was the Glorious Day! Meet Amy and John (my newest BIL)!! They are SO perfect for each other!
Here’s all the cute and handsome cousins!
My little Princesses…
Dancing with Grandpa!
This pic of the girls dancing cracks me up.
In typical Ella fashion…she found a lizard and brought it into the reception. It was later released into the wild.
Alright, I know I should have more pictures from the wedding BUT there were so many great photographers there today that I took a break so I could TRY to keep track of my kids. Key word being TRY.
Sunday started about 3am with a feverish Sylvie who also had a terrible Headache! No church for her. I, however, couldn’t miss today because it was finally time for our wards Primary Program!! The kids have been working hard since the beginning of the year to put on a great meeting and they sang their little hearts out. I was SO proud of all of them. Admittedly after church, though, I crashed into bed….snore.
